most attractive and interesting. DR.. Twit-

| happy in his subjects and their treatment in
| these short talks and the music is selected
with reference to the topic in hand, making
service at once Interesting and impressive.
| The subject last evening was ''Man." The
terms the wonders of his subject-physic
mentally and morally. The choir followed
the talk with chant anthem, Remember
now thy creator in the days of thy youth y
